A form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain.

“Additional studies have also demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of the Val66Met polymorphism among older people with a TBI. The age-dependent differences in the risk of death associated with genetic variants of BDNF could be due to the change in BDNF receptors that occurs with age.”

“A study in mice and rats showed that creatine supplementation before TBI decreased the number of brain lesions formed by up to 50 percent. A prospective, randomized, pilot study investigated the effects of creatine given immediately after sustaining a TBI.”

“This is a proposed metabolic advantage, not proof of slower brain aging. Small TBI trials found that sodium lactate lowered intracranial pressure more than mannitol in severe TBI and improved cognitive scores more than 3% sodium chloride in mild TBI.”

“In two independent studies, sulforaphane showed promising outcomes, with children and adolescents exhibiting marked reductions in autistic behavior. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes advances in sulforaphane research that are particularly relevant to the brain.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that children who experience a TBI, even a mild one, are more likely to experience emotional and behavioral problems. The study involved nearly 12,000 children enrolled in the Adolescence Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.”

“When people with the apoE4 allele undergo TBI their Alzheimer's risk climbs to 10-fold! For those individuals with the apoE4 allele, it may be prudent to avoid playing sports that raise the risk of TBI such at football.”

“Military veterans, especially those engaging in special operations, are at greater risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). A recent study found that psychedelic drugs reduce the symptoms associated with PTSD and TBI and improve cognition in special operations veterans.”

“Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results from damage caused by a sudden blow, penetrating injury, or lack of oxygen. A TBI may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders, especially in people carrying the APOE4 gene. In this clip, Dr. Peter Attia stresses the further risks of head trauma for those with the APOE4 gene variant.”

“Then, they followed those with a TBI for the next six months. > Levels of one protein, called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), taken within 24 hours of someone's head injury, could predict the severity of a TBI and how a patient would fare, they found.”
